Tables turned over
Crashing
Clanging
Chaos swirling as surprised screams and gasps filled the air.
Why so angry?
Why so un-Jesus like?
When our passion for equality and justice awaken within us, there are some tables that need to be over turned.
Some tables like inequity in pay between women and men.
Some tables like racism.
Some tables like homophobia.
Tables that still have too many people willing to pontificate the false pretenses of misunderstanding.
Turn the tables, O God, in my life.
Where I am so certain.
Turn the tables, O God, in my life
Where I fail to speak the truth in love...feel sidelined by fear.
Turn the tables, O God, in my life
Where I need to be interrupted and disrupted by a grace I can neither control nor fully comprehend...
Yet that grace clings to me...
changes me...
challenges me...
confounds me...
Turns the tables from what is to what can be.
Turn the tables, O God, this day and this week readying my heart for the promise of resurrection life and light.
